The Rolling Pin @ Plaza Damas 3, Sri Hartamas

Twirling into Sri Hartamas, The Rolling Pin puts a fun spin on Indian fare, with stimulating visual twists by chefs Rakesh Talwar & Abhishek Botadkar, both from Mumbai.

Fulfilling the promise of its name, the restaurant serves a selection of tandoor-cooked starters presented in rolling pins - thankfully, the food is more than superficially striking. From yoghurt-marinated chicken to minced lamb to mushrooms stuffed with cheese & spinach, these clay-oven offerings prove to be convincing specimens of the kitchen's capabilities.

Devotees of dal (that's us!) will lap up the similar but even more sumptuous Delhi-style rajma, thick with tender kidney beans (RM20). Our only caveat is that a meal here won't be cheap - expect to spend slightly north of RM100 for a full-fledged feast for two. Service is sterling, & basic cocktails like Martinis & Mai Tais are expected to be introduced soon.

Steering clear of meat this week? No worries; KindMeal has got you covered - Malaysia's leading meat-free platform is running an exciting contest to help improve animal welfare, public health & the environment.
